38. Mr. Davidsonasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that ex-members of the pro-Nazi organisation 593 "The Link," met in London last week, and discussed the question of peace terms under a sympathetic Government; and whether he has any statement to make?
§ Sir J. AndersonI have no information to confirm the statement to this effect which was published in a newspaper, but if my hon. Friend has any information, I should be glad to receive it.
Mr. DavidsonSince I gave the right hen. Gentleman the statement, has he made full investigation into it? Can he also say whether Admiral Domvile and his son, well-known Fascist sympathisers, are still at large, and is he aware that Major Davidson-Houston is indulging in Fascist propaganda with Scottish Committees at this moment?
§ Sir J. AndersonWith regard to the first part of the question, the newspaper statement which the hon. Gentleman sent to me is singularly uninformative, and I have not been able to obtain any confirmation of the bald statement which appeared in it. As regards the remainder of the question, I suggest to hon. Members that supplementary questions relating to particular individuals are very difficult for any Minister to answer without notice.
Mr. DavidsonAre the suggestions contained in the supplementary question beyond the Minister's comprehension with a view to further action?
§ Sir J. AndersonNo, Sir, but I have asked for certain matters of fact, and I do not think it is fair to me or to certain persons concerned to answer without notice.
